December 3-- Lyons incumbent city councilman Wayne Hartley has won re-election in a runoff.

Fourth Ward voters gave Hartley a five-vote win over challenger Keith Driggers, 64 to 59. Five votes is the same margin Hartley won by in the November city election in a four-candidate field.

'I'd like to thank my supporters and everybody that participated. We had a good turnout. The runoff vote was actually higher than the general election. That goes to show that people do really care about city government and for that I'm thankful," Hartley said.
